Configuration

Most of the configuration you’ll do is for the Kadabra client API itself. You’ll pass a dictionary containing all the configuration keys and values for any defaults you want to override when you initialize the Flask extension:

from flask import Flask
from flask_kadabra import Kadabra

app = Flask()

config = {
    "CLIENT_DEFAULT_DIMENSIONS": {
        "environment": "development"
    }
}

kadabra = Kadabra()
kadabra.init_app(app, config)

Or using the constructor directly:

kadabra = Kadabra(app, config)

Configuration keys, values, and defaults are explained in the Kadabra documentation under Configuration.

However, the Flask extension does support one configuration value itself, which can be stored in the Flask application’s Config.

DISABLE_KADABRA

If present in the config and set to True, metrics will not actually be sent to the channel. This is useful if you are just developing your service and don’t need to actually see metrics flowing yet.
